Magical place for a magical weekend

We traveled to Franconia, NH to be near the 100% zone if the solar eclipse. The property was beautiful, clean and welcoming. There were 4 large bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, 2 living areas and a big porch. We woke to the view of one of the nearby mountains and the yard was large enough for us to practice some snow shoeing. Cannon Mountain was right down the street, and we were close to Bethlehem, Littleton and Mount Washington. The owners were very communicative and even called the land line to make sure we were okay. Would definitely stay at Freeland Acres again. Thank you!

Great family get away

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week at Freeland Acres. The house was impeccably clean, well maintained, and well stocked with kitchen equipment, linens and games. There was ample space for 6 of us - 4 adults and 2 teens. It’s very convenient to Sugar Hill, Franconia, Cannon Mtn, and, a little further, Littleton. The backyard is nice and big for playing games. It was a cold week so we didn’t get to take advantage of the lovely outdoor space much.

Return Visit to Freeland Acres

Freeland Acres never disappoints! The hosts are very helpful and always available to answer questions. This was our fifth visit to this charming country home in a sparsely populated area in the beautiful White Mountains. The house is tastefully appointed and decorated, which is warm and welcoming. Several good friends join us from several other states to enjoy hiking in Autumn color and discovering small, neighboring towns. Looking forward to our next visit!

Serene Spot

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Freeland Acres. While it's not what I would consider truly "rustic," like a camp, it does show its age. The floors definitely tilt to one side, especially in the hallway and on the porch. The internet service is spotty and there is that smell that the house has lived a full life. We find it charming, but those looking for 'modern' should look elsewhere. The views are beautiful and there is plenty of room out in the grass for kids to explore and play games and enjoy the firepit at night when it becomes chilly. It's like stepping back in time, but with the added convenience of a washer/dryer, dishwasher and frig. We loved our quiet spot and appreciated that it was within 20 minutes or so of attractions such as hiking to see waterfalls, ziplining, and horseback riding. Sweet and serene.

Nice place

Old farm house in a good location for exploring the white mtns. We enjoyed our stay, the place has most everything you need. No ac except on two bedrooms. It was hot while we were there but it cooled off quickly in the evenings. Quiet at night and you can see the stars. You do have to take the trash to the recycling center down the road and it is closed 3 days out of the week. Market nearby with a good selection of groceries.

Repeat visitors

During our stay we felt very comfortable in the peaceful surroundings. The farmhouse is meticulously decorated with careful attention to detail, including framed art, antiques and piano. It has a fully-functional kitchen. Morning coffee in the front porch rockers, facing the striking Kinsman Mountain, is a delightful way to begin the day! We highly recommend Freeland Acres !

family trip

The property was fantastic for our family. Bedrooms were perfect and situated on one side of the house with bath, upstairs bedrooms with bath was very convenient as well. Music room was a fantastic playroom for the babies where we could spread out their toys and still have the den for adult conversation.

Week in the mountains

Property as advertised except the AC is only in two bedrooms not the whole house. If you don’t mind cleaning up after yourself - including a trip to the city dump - you’ll enjoy your stay. Spent many hours on the front porch watching the clouds pass by Mt. Kinsman. Close to hiking and the Notch. Good grocery store in the Village.

Absolutely perfect!

Our family of 4 (kids age 10,13) stayed at Freeland Acres for 4 nights as a fall getaway. The house is warm and cozy and feels like you are visiting an old friend. No typical sterile rental property here! It is absolutely perfect and the owners are lovely. We hope to return again to this little slice of paradise in the White Mountains again!

About the host

Hosted by Joan Freeland McGowan

The house has been in the Freeland Family for almost 60 years. Now the three sisters, Carole, Joan, and Susan, own it and provide loving care. We love being there ourselves, and also welcoming guests from all over the world to our property.

Why they chose this property

The house is charming both inside and out. Built during 1860's, the original house was tiny. Over the years other rooms were added, including a second floor bathroom. The property provides pure, cold mountain well water.

What makes this property unique

The front porch has an uninterrupted, sweeping mountain view. The area is peaceful and abounds with birds and wildlife. The home remains a quiet, comfortable get-away for those who want to relax. The nights are dark and, on a clear night, the sky is flooded with stars. You may see an occasional spacecraft, many shooting stars and the Milky Way!
